Horse In Motion
A recreation of a photographic experiment conducted by Eadweard Muybridge in 1878. Muybridge set out to determine that all four feet of a galloping horse left the ground at the same time. I have been unable to reproduce his findings.

And yes, those are 16 unique shots. There's no excuse for laziness when conducting important experiments like this.

The deadpan humour works perfectly here. This put a big smile on my face.

there's a very funny parody of this in one of Terry Pratchet's Discworld books. I think it's Pyramids, but it could be Small Gods

Awesome! I immediately knew from the thumbnail which shot you were recreating. Your inability to reproduce his findings is too perfect!

I am familiar with Muybridges' work. If scientific finding cannot be duplicated, then they aren't true. Congratulations on disproving Muybridges' faulty work! Truly a great use of your photographic skills.
Nice work.
